Haha, I've been wearing long sleeves and thin gloves although the gloves ruin the experience in my opinion so I plan to stop that very soon. Honestly once I pick her up she seems totally fine. Even in the enclosure she usually seems chill. It kind of seems like if I opened the door and put my hand there she'd just climb right on (or slither over and bite me haha). She seems agitated when I mist the enclosure but I'll consider it as a tool and may try it. ThanksOriginally Posted by Bogertophis
I have no experience with Olive pythons or other giants, but I've kept plenty of good-sized & "overly-enthused" snakes. Another thing that might help you "change the channel" on your snake is a spray bottle of plain water (sprayed in their face). It's harmless, easy to use (snakes drink in the rain!) & is just another way to signal a snake that it's not dinnertime, without the risk that they'll grab the hook you're trying to tap them with. Again, it's just a thought, not a guarantee. Got long sleeves?
